Good stuff. Trump is pulling a lot of strings. Can't wait to see how this will work out in the details.
President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday the addition of roughly 8,000 new jobs for Americans, including 5,000 that telecommunications giant Sprint will bring from “all around the world.”
“They’re coming back to the United States, which is a nice change,” he said.
Trump, who takes office January 20, said the other 3,000 jobs will be hires from a new company called One Web.

"I was just called by the head people at Sprint and they are going to be bringing 5,000 jobs back to the United States, they are taking them from other countries," Trump told reporters outside his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
"And also OneWeb, a new company, is going to be hiring 3,000 people. So that's very exciting," he added.

Sprint confirmed the news in a statement saying the telecom company would “create or bring back to America” 5,000 jobs, mostly in customer care and sales. The announcement comes only a month after Trump helped get Carrier to keep 800 jobs in Indiana.
“We are excited to work with President-Elect Trump and his administration to do our part to drive economic growth and create jobs in the U.S.,” said Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure. He called it “critical” for business and government to work together.
OneWeb is a Florida startup that aims to provide Internet access from small satellites orbiting the Earth. The firm came to national attention after a Japanese firm, SoftBank, invested $1 billion in it this month.
The president-elect went out of his way again Wednesday to praise Masayoshi “Masa” Son, the CEO of SoftBank, who promised to create 50,000 jobs in the U.S. and invest billions. Trump claimed credit at the time for the investment promise, tweeting: “Masa said he would never do this had we (Trump) not won the election!”
